Bears Safety Jaquan Brisker Reveals Trash Talk Trick That Left Justin Jefferson in Tears, Aims to Get Inside Ja'Marr Chase's Head.
In a bizarre revelation, Bears safety Jaquan Brisker admitted that part of the team's strategy against Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is to get inside his head with trash talk. The rookie defensive back claimed he has a knack for doing just that, citing an instance where he made Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson cry during a game last year.
According to Brisker, his verbal jabs were so effective on Jefferson that the player broke down in tears, much to the amusement of Brisker and their teammates. The Bears safety was mic'd up for every game, and it's clear he relishes the opportunity to get under opponents' skin. "We're going to talk, and... especially the way I talk and the way other people talk, we get in people's heads," Brisker said.
Brisker took credit for Jefferson's struggles in the second half of that 2022 game, claiming he dropped every ball after speaking some trash talk. While it's hard to believe this tactic will work on Chase, who has been dominating the league with 70 catches and 720 yards, Brisker remains confident that his verbal sparring skills can be a game-changer.
For now, though, Brisker is focusing on taking down Chase, rather than getting caught up in the hype surrounding him. It will be interesting to see if the Bears' trash talk strategy pays off, and whether Chase's incredible performance this season remains unbeaten.
